Each year, Season for Caring partners with local nonprofit agencies and invites them to nominated up to three families. This is the second year Breast Cancer Resource Center has been in the program.

The Breast Cancer Resource Center writes on its website: BCRC is a place to ask your questions, explore your options, and connect with a diverse community of survivors, lifers, and thrivers who can relate in a way no one else can. For more than 20 years, the women of BCRC have been dedicated to supporting and improving the lives of those touched by breast cancer.

Through generous community support, all programs and services are offered free of charge to anyone affected by breast cancer regardless of income, ethnicity, education, sexual orientation, or social support. BCRC strives to embody understanding, preserve dignity, and always see the woman as well as the disease. We believe no one should face breast cancer alone.

This year, Breast Cancer Resource Center nominated Deloris Fields and her son Connor. Fields is a 26-year-old single mom who was first diagnosed with breast cancer at age 23. Last December, the day after she gave birth to her son Connor, she found out her cancer had returned and is now in her bones. Read more about this family here .
